125. Eliminated

In the blink of an eye, Sun Jiashu has been in the training team for more than a month, this month's time, every day is repeating the training assessment, assessment training, no one is idle, every assessment has someone eliminated, the training team is less and less, now more than half of the eliminated, is an experienced veteran, a little attention was eliminated, every time Sun Jiashu assessment is thrilling, and finally persevered, which made the veterans of the training team look at him with admiration, ten groups and after many combinations and combinations, Now there are only five and a half left, only Sun Jiashu is still the original combination, and four more people will be eliminated to the end, and the remaining ten people will represent the division to participate in the all-round gunner competition of the military region, and it is still unknown who can go in the end.

It's another tense assessment, this time it's Sun Jiashu's weakness - the mortar is simple to shoot, that is, there is no gun mount, no scope, only the gun body is used to complete the firing of the artillery, that guy said, how to fight without a gun carriage and no scope? There is a way, the legs and arms are the gun mount, the eyes are the sight, when I first came, Sun Jiashu still didn't know anything about mortars, even if he brought the gun mount and the scope, he didn't shoot, he came here and started training simple shooting, there is a problem with easy shooting of mortars, that is, according to the amount of primer charge of the shell and the distance to the target to calculate the angle of the gun body, this angle determines the range of the shell, there is a problem here, that is, visual distance, not only by eyesight, but also by experience, You can't practice it without three or two years of hard work, and if you can't judge the distance accurately, you can't hit the target at all. Most of the team members who came to participate in the training camp are soldiers with more than three years of military experience, and some have participated in such training many times, and even the training site is familiar, which position is how many meters away from which position, they can judge at a glance that eight or nine are not far from ten, for the sake of fairness, the instructors constantly change the position of the target and the shooting ground line during the assessment, but let you change it casually, as long as it is still this examination room, the veterans can accurately judge the distance of the target, and now it has been replaced by Sun Jiashu, He can only calculate the distance of the target if he honestly stretches out his arm for visual inspection.

I saw Sun Jiashu holding the cannon body with both hands and smashing it hard, the tail of the cannon did not enter the soil at once, he stretched out his arm, and then closed one eye and began to visually measure the distance, after stretching out his arm, he was blinded, there was a telephone pole near the target that was deliberately pulled out, in the past assessment, he always used the telephone pole as a reference to calculate, now there is no reference, this distance can not be calculated, he stretched out his arm and stunned there, time passed a second and second, and there was no time if the cannonball was fired, let it be fate, He took the mortar shell handed over by the ammunition man, gently placed it above the muzzle, adjusted the angle of the gun body slightly, and slowly released the shell.

I only heard a "bang", a spark erupted from the muzzle, the cannonball rose into the air under the strong thrust of the primer, slowly shrunk into a small dot in the air, and it was invisible for a while, and began to fall after completing a parabolic trajectory, Sun Jiashu looked at the falling cannonball, the direction did not deviate at all, but the distance was a little hanging, as if it was at the edge of the circle, and he secretly prayed in his heart: O Almighty Lord, let the cannonball fall into the circle.

With a "boom", the shell landed and exploded, oh no, it exploded a meter outside the circle. This time he panicked, his brain "buzzed", his eyes were blank, everyone knew what it meant for the shell to run off the target, he slightly adjusted the angle of the cannon body and fired the second shell, this cannon fell in the center of the circle, and he didn't know how to finish the remaining shells, until the assessment was completed, when the captain announced the list of eliminated personnel, he came to his senses, the reality was cruel, he was eliminated.

Sun Jiashu didn't know how to go back, he didn't know it was time to eat until he sat at the dinner table, every time someone was eliminated, the food would be improved, and the eliminated few would be arranged on a table, on which a bottle of Moutai would be specially placed, and the captain would toast the eliminated people one by one, and finally all the team members lined up to say goodbye to those who were out, and this time was no exception.

There were seven people sitting at Sun Jiashu's table, captain Chen Mingwei, political commissar Zhang Haijun, and two instructors, and the rest were the three team members who were eliminated, all of them lowered their heads, and the delicacies on the table did not have the slightest attraction to them.

I saw that the captain poured a full bowl of wine for everyone present, and then picked up the bowl and said: "Brothers, you were eliminated not because you are not excellent, but because the competition is too cruel, you can go so far, you are already the best in our division, brothers, I salute you." ”

The moment he lifted the wine, Sun Jiashu couldn't help but fall into his eyes, he picked up the bowl and drank it all, he was to hide the tears in his eyes, he coughed and said: "Moutai is so spicy, I can't enjoy it." He saw that the other two team members were in tears, and they had been training hard for a month, but in the end they were eliminated from the competition.

After eating, Sun Jiashu returned to the dormitory and packed his backpack, Wang Jian and Zhou Dalun didn't know what to say to him, if they comforted him, they were afraid that Sun Jiashu would be too careful, thinking that they were laughing at him, so they simply kept silent, helped Sun Jiashu sort out things, and then sat on the bed silently, no one spoke, their group is the strongest group of this training team, and now, this strongest group is about to disintegrate, and they don't have a taste in their hearts.

There was a burst of car horns outside, it was the driver of the supply car urging, he had been standing outside for a long time, every eliminated team member was going back in this car, Zhou Dalun helped Sun Jiashu carry a backpack, Wang Jian held a satchel for him, a soldier has so many things, the three of them came out of the tent, Sun Jiashu climbed into the carriage, the other two eliminated team members were already sitting in the car, Sun Jiashu lay on the carriage and signaled Wang Jian and Zhou Dalun to go back, neither of them was willing to go, at this time, the car started, Sun Jiashu simply put down the curtain, and then sat down against the carriage, his tears couldn't stop flowing down again, and the supply car slowly drove out of the training base, Sun Jiashu's mind was blank, and the mountain road was a little bumpy, until his head was bumped by the car and touched the carriage before he came back to his senses, a feeling of guilt and self-blame followed, how to explain to the company commander when he went back like this? How do you tell your sweetheart? I just wrote a letter and blew a big word to Luye, saying that I would represent the division to participate in the military region's big competition.

"If you go, don't come back, don't lose the people of our Second Artillery Company." He remembered what the company commander had said. Thinking about it, he suddenly patted the carriage and shouted, "Squad leader, please stop the car." ”
